usenet posts take time to propagate around the world and replies
take time to propagate back to you -- especially if you have a
cheap ISP -- you may not even get to see all of your replies --
be patient -- check to see if google shows you have any replies
-- you already had two replies that I can see before you reposted

use short instead of int for now, until you can use int16_t (C99)
